Definitions

  • Audio recording and reproduction has in recent years progressed from monaural single-channel format to dual-channel stereo format and more recently to multi-channel format, for example five-channel audio format as often used in home movie systems.
  • the introduction of super audio compact disks (SACD) and digital video disc (DVD) data carriers has resulted in such five-channel audio reproduction contemporarily gaining interest.
  • SACD super audio compact disks
  • DVD digital video disc
  • Many users presently own equipment capable of providing five-channel audio playback in their homes; correspondingly, five-channel audio programme content on suitable data carriers is becoming increasingly available, for example the aforementioned SACD and DVD types of data carriers.
  • SACD super audio compact disks
  • DVD digital video disc
  • Encoders capable of representing spatial audio information such as audio programme content by way of parametric descriptors are known. For example, in a published international PCT patent application no. PCT/IB2003/002858 ( WO 2004/008805 ), encoding of a multi-channel audio signal including at least a first signal component (LF), a second signal component (LR) and a third signal component (RF) is described. This encoding utilizes a method comprising steps of:
  • a problem of significant inter-channel interference arises when output from contemporary multi-channel encoders is subsequently decoded. Such interference is especially noticeable in multi-channel encoders arranged to yield a good stereo image in association with two-channel down-mix.
  • the present invention is arranged to at least partially address this problem, thereby enhancing the quality of corresponding decoded multi-channel audio.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an alternative multi-channel encoder or block that can be used within a multi-channel encoder which is susceptible to generating encoded output data which is subsequently capable of being decoded with reduced inter-channel interference.
  • a multi-channel encoder operable to process input signals conveyed in a plurality of input channels to generate corresponding output data comprising down-mix output signals together with complementary parametric data
  • the encoder including:
  • the invention is of advantage in that the output data from the encoder is susceptible to being decoded with reduced inter-channel interference, namely enabling enhanced subsequent regeneration of the input signals.
  • the amount of data output from the multi-channel encoder required to represent the input signals is also potentially reduced.
  • the encoder is operable to process the input signals on the basis of time/frequency tiles. More preferably, these tiles are defined either before or in the encoder during processing of the input signals.
  • the analyzer is operable to generate at least part of the parametric data (C 1,i ;C 2,i ) by applying an optimization of at least one signal derived from a difference between one or more input signals and an estimation of said one or more input signals which can be generated from output data from the multi-channel encoder. More preferably, the optimization involves minimizing an Euclidean norm.
  • the encoder there are N input channels which the analyzer is operable to process to generate for each time/frequency tile the parametric data, the analyzer being operable to output M(N-M) parameters together with M down-mix output signals for representing the input signals in the output data, M and N being integers and M ⁇ N. More preferably, in a case of the integer M being equal to two in the encoder, the down-mixer is operable to generate two down-mix output signals which are susceptible to being replayed in two-channel stereophonic apparatus and being coded by a standard stereo coder. Such a characteristic is capable of rendering the encoder and its associated output data backwardly compatible with earlier replay systems, for example stereophonic two-channel replay systems.
  • a signal processor for inclusion in a multi-channel encoder according to the first aspect of the invention, the processor being operable to process data in the multi-channel encoder for generating its down-mix output signals and parametric data.
  • a method of encoding input signals in a multi-channel encoder to generate corresponding output data comprising down-mix output signals together with complementary parametric data including steps of:
  • encoded output data generated according to the method of the third aspect of the invention, said output data being stored on a data carrier.
  • a decoder for decoding output data generated by an encoder according to the first aspect of the invention comprising:
  • a seventh aspect of the invention there is provided a method of decoding encoded data in a multi-channel decoder, said data being of a form as generated by a multi-channel encoder according to the first aspect of the invention, the method including steps of:
  • the present invention will be described in first and second contexts.
  • the invention is concerned with an encoder which is operable process original input signals to generate corresponding encoded output data capable on being subsequent decoded in a decoder to regenerate perceptually more precise representations of the original input signals than hitherto possible.
  • the invention is concerned with specific example embodiments of the invention.
  • PCA Principal Component Analysis
  • an encoder 5 configured according to the invention predicts from the M down-mix channels at least some information corresponding to the N-M channels at a decoder, while at the same time avoiding a need to send certain parameters from the encoder 5 to the decoder 10. Such prediction makes use of signal redundancy occurring between signals of the N channels as will be described in more detail later. Moreover, the correspondingly compatible decoder 10 reinstates the redundancy when decoding encoded data provided from the encoder 5.
  • the encoder 15 includes three processing units 20, 30, 40 for receiving six input signals denoted by 400 to 450; the nature of these six input signals will be elucidated later.
